That's odd...When NYPD gets all shooty, usually it is the innocent bystanders that end up with gunshot wounds...

Yeah, that one whole time that happened. You know, when the cops were confronted with an armed lunatic and had no choice but to shoot at him. It's not their fault the guy decided to go nuts in the middle of NYC. Try shooting at a moving target, especially one that's shooting back at you. Let me know how you do, if you're not too busy filling your pants with poo.

stratagos:Let me be clear: it is quite possible he was armed and reached for a weapon. It is also possible that he was *not* armed and reached to scratch his nuts.

Since shooting a guy scratching his nuts, even if you think he was reaching for a gun is going to be criticized, there will always be a gun

I know what you meant. My point was that even if he didn't have one on him at that moment in time, he had used a weapon in commission of a felony. If he hadn't already, he would have killed someone eventually. No one should lose any sleep over this result.
